    Posted by John McHale HUDSON, Mass., 28 2010. Hypertronics Corp. announcedthe KMR Connector Series, a 0.075 in (1.91millimeter) fine pitch, high density printed circuit board (PCB) connector utilizing 0.50mm diameter Hypertac Hyperboloid sockets. KMR is targeted at commercial and military avionics and other aircraft systems, as well as unmanned systems. The avionics connector is available in a 200 signal contact position with contact terminations that include right angle through board solder, straight through board solder, and SMT. The KMR connector complements the Hypertronics KA series by offering a finer pitch of 0.75, producing a higher signal count in a more compact space.The fine pitch design was created to meet the industry needs of increased circuit density with more contact pads and traces on the circuit board, company officials say. "We designed the KMR using the high performance Hypertac technology, to be smaller in size and weight with the capacity for high pin count to accommodate tightly spaced board designs," says Vadim Radunsky, president of Hypertronics. KMR connectors provide immunity to shock and vibration fretting, numerous linear paths of contact, and a self-wipe action. Hypertronics Hypertac system is a unique contact design characterized by a wire basket technology which encapsulates a male pin and guarantees continuous signal integrity especially in the mission critical applications for passenger and cargo aircraft. The wire basket design creates a 360 degree point of contact which ensures signal reliability, eliminates electrical intermittencies and fretting which can be an issue with many other connectors, company officials say.
